    Vegan Halloween Candy!

    Oct 30, 2017 • Festive/Holidays, Sweets, Wellness & Lifestyle

    Vegan Halloween Candy!

    Setting up this picture was way more fun than I’d like to admit…!

    Actually, the real fun came after the pictures, when I could finally get my hands on those watermelon rings… I ate one whole bag in an embarrassing amount of time. 

    With the many nut allergies and dairy intolerances, I can’t imagine being a parent to little ones during Halloween. How do you mama’s do it?! How do you handle trick-or-treating?!! Especially if you have to monitor every piece of candy they want to inhale?! Please leave us a comment and share below!

    Not to mention, all the junk that makes up the popular candy… however, it only comes around once a year and is basically the BEST part of childhood, so if you need some sugary sweet inspiration for you or your family, I’m here to share my favorite Vegan Halloween Candy with you! No judgement if you’re a childless adult like me and just want the deets on some good vegan candy. I got you.

    Before I get comments about ingredients, let me say this:

    These treats are not “healthy” (well, except maybe for the Perfect Bar) but they are indeed vegan. Yes, the ingredients are “better” than other popular/comparable candies since there are no artificial colorings or sweeteners, etc. but it’s still candy!

    >> Also, these brands are doing big things and I’m so thankful they exist. This kind of candy was unheard of when I was little so it’s really cool to watch the candy evolution happen. I can’t imagine people are handing out candy like this yet because it’s far more expensive than other candy, but that’s only because of the superior ingredients.

    Are people handing out healthier alternatives?! I haven’t gone trick-or-treating in about 15 years… so I have not a clue!

    Anyway, here’s a list of 9 of my fave vegan candy brands!

    1. Surf Sweets: Organic Watermelon Rings (the other gummies are not vegan)
    2. Unreal (most similar to M&M’s): Dark Chocolate Crispy Quinoa Gems, Dark Chocolate Peanut Gems & Milk Chocolate Gems
    3. Choco No-No’s (also similar to M&M’s): Milk Like Chocolatey Candy
    4. Justin’s Organic Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (most similar to Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!)
    5. Enjoy Life: Rice Milk Crunch Bars & Boom Choco Boom Bars
    6. Yum Earth: organic lolli pops, organic sour twists & organic pomegranate licorice
    7. JJ Sweets Cocomels (the best vegan coconut milk caramels!)
    8. Perfect Bar in the only vegan flavor: Vanilla Almond! Okay, not necessarily “candy” but certainly tastes like a healthier candy bar with figs, dates & all kinds of goodness
    9. Ocho Candy Bars in Coconut (most comparable to an Almond Joy!), Peanut Butter and Caramel

    I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and ca I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and can’t stop staring at it! 🤩 here is what the inside pages look like. there is also a weekly reflection page that you’ll fill out after each week! you’ll be tracking month and day, cycle day, moon phase, cervical mucus, bleeding or spotting, symptoms, ovulation, pain/cysts and basal body temperature, digestion, overall mood, stress level, libido, sleep quality, supplements, nourishing foods, cravings, movement and lastly workflow or motivation! tracking these things will help you notice patterns. like for instance after ovulation, my mood is super low for a couple days due to the shift in hormones. so I can plan accordingly and know what’s coming! 

what about this tracker makes you excited?! I want to hear your thoughts!! you can preorder The Happy Hormone Tracker on amazon or wherever books are sold! Release date is October 20th 🩸

my latest crunchy craving! it comes together in 5 minutes and is sugar free. I know it’s super simple but I still think it deserves to live on the blog! I love snacking on it, serving it on crackers or using as a side/appetizer. so much refreshing crunch and salty, vinegar-y taste 🥒🥒🥒 new on the blog >> theglowingfridge.com // link in bio // #plantpowered
    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
